Yum. I am in love with that lavender box, the one with the Laduree grren ribbon. That is the epitome of promise. Would marry a guy on the spot who brought me a box like that..but then that's just silly me...I wonder if those French papas instruct there sons... go to Laduree if you want to win a woman's heart...;-)

i don't know if you were doing this before, but i really like the fact that your recent paintings have a background. i love your blog by the way. i feel like i've been visiting it secretly (for some months now) but had never commented, until today. great job.

Carol your watercolors are ALWAYS beautiful but today… WOW! The overall composition is stunning, the blending in such perfect harmony and those awesome colors, ooh la la ~ stunning! I can imagine your art in so many diverse places – it’s all so lovely and versatile. Très cool blogging today – who doesn’t LOVE Lavender :D

Good morning Carol!I have already taken a glance at Luca Turin's new book, focusing on the House of Guerlain's fragrances, as I have long been a fan of theirs... funny, many descriptions of the fragrances, I did not agree with! And I think women perceive fragrance much differently than men do...Patricia

A delicious "voyage" among lavender... the subtle scents, the calming colours... beautiful! I just found out about your blog and I fell in love with it... I will certainly come back for more goodies...

Please visit my blogsite at http://ladamedragon.com an award is awaiting for you!

Lavender. I miss the lavender painted room in our previous home. One day I shall have a lavender room again. I kept two "linden green" quilted accent pillows just for that reason (I checked, they are actually from Paris! Yves Delorme - I wonder how close they are to the Ladurée green).

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
